Intel responded to the trolling of AMD relative to the draw Core i7-8086K

Recall: severe marketers AMD decided to go on the attack on Intel, offering four of the eight tens of thousands of winners of the anniversary drawing processor Intel Core i7-8086K Limited Edition to swap their brand new 6-core chips on the 16-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X. Moreover, “red” expressly stated that Intel is the past high-performance CPU, and AMD is the future.

“Blue” did not stay aside and decided to tease a competitor in response. On their official Twitter account they

with gentle humor wrote: “AMD Ryzen, if you also wanted to get Intel Core i7-8086K, you could just ask us. 🙂 Thank you for helping us to celebrate the anniversary of the 8086!”.
